Value Collection 37718 Plow Bolt 1-8 Unc Grade 8 Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 37718 is a Grade 8 alloy steel plow bolt designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where high tensile strength and resistance to shear forces are required. With a 1-8 UNC thread size and an overall length of 2-3/4 inches, this bolt meets the dimensional and strength demands of equipment and structural assemblies that see significant mechanical load. The uncoated finish makes it well suited for applications where a secondary coating or paint will be applied on-site. Grade 8 classification indicates a minimum proof load and tensile strength appropriate for demanding mechanical and agricultural equipment service.

Plow bolts are commonly used in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, earthmoving attachments, and heavy fabrication work. The flat, countersunk head profile of the plow bolt sits flush with mating surfaces, reducing snagging and wear in soil-contact and abrasive environments. This fastener is typically installed by equipment mechanics, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on blade assemblies, wear plates, and structural attachments.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding load applications
• 1-8 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread nuts and tapped holes
• 2-3/4 inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Uncoated finish allows field application of paint, plating, or other surface treatments
• Flush-mount plow bolt head profile minimizes snag points in abrasive service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and heavy fabrication assemblies requiring a 1-8 UNC Grade 8 plow bolt.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by equipment mechanics or maintenance technicians using standard wrenches and sockets rated for Grade 8 fasteners. Always inspect mating surfaces and threaded holes for damage or contamination before installation. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the application — do not substitute generic values. Power down and de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on operating machinery.
